I just received a call from "Lawrence" who told me the government selected me for a one-time federal grant for $8,000. Apparently I am a good citizen who pays her bills and taxes on time. He also told me that I would not have to pay taxes on this money. He asked for my bank account number so my money could be direct deposited. I asked him why they could not send out checks and he said because of "lost in transit" issues. I didn't give him my account number, but he told me to call their accounting department and i could give them that number then...he provided me with my address and phone #, and asked me to verify how old i was.
